Senator elect Farwell, after his cleo
tim by the Illinois Legislature, made
anatldress, In the course of which he
announced the following correct Re.
publican doctrine:
"There Is q feeling among many of
the artisans of this country that they
are not receiving their just proportion
Of the wealth created by their labor.
Having been reared on a farm and
having devoted the early part of my
life to mantal labor, my sympsthies
are with the labOring men, and any
measure that will bring the employer
and employee nearer together and
will tighten the burdens of the labor

In the lower muse of Congress l voted
for all measures for the benefit of our

q esteemed contemporary, the
All hta Constitution, is not logical.
II eciairs that the post-office ar.
ran ements down South are in a
feaI ll condition, far worse than I'M
der ny Republican Administration
and lmost as bad as In the days of
Cor Pderacy and Judge Reagan. In
loo ng about for a cause for this
stat OF things, It decides that the
troqble must lie In the fact that IS per
cent OF the post-office clerks are still
Republicans. 1t suggests that II Mr..
Villas would dismiss all these people
and employ only Democrats the
trouble would be remedied. This
notion is fanciful rather than rational.
II the service was all right when the
clerks were all Republicans, and be.
came bad so soon as Mr.. Villas took
10 i've per cent of Democrats, 1t
strikes Us that the sensible scheme to
restore the Old-time efficiency would
be To fre out those bungling Demo.
